Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage Use pork, turkey, or plant-based alternative.
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Small-curd for smoother texture; plain Greek yogurt can be used.
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns No-thaw; or thawed and squeezed dry.
  • 3 oz crumbled feta or shredded cheddar cheese Choose feta for tang, cheddar for melty richness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six oven-safe small containers (ramekins, individual glass dishes or silicone cups work well).
  2. Heat a skillet over medium and brown the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
  3. In a blender or a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Divide the frozen shredded hash browns evenly among the six containers and press them down gently to form a base. Top each with the crumbled sausage.
  5. Pour the egg-and-cottage-cheese mixture into each container until the liquid comes just below the rim. Sprinkle the top of each bowl with the feta or shredded cheddar.
Baking
  1. Place the filled containers on a baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  2. If the tops brown too quickly, tent with foil.
Cooling
  1. Let the bowls cool slightly before serving, or cool completely for storage.

Notes

Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage. If freezing, cool completely and wrap each container tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
